Identifies the file server machine where the volume resides.
Provide the machines IP address or its host name (either fully
qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see
vos(1).

-partition <partition name>

Identifies the partition where the volume resides, on the
file server machine named by the -server argument. Provide the
partitions complete name with preceding slash (for example, /vicepa)
or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details, see
vos(1).

-id <volume name or ID>

Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the volume.

-cell <cell name>

Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-noauth

Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. Do not combine
this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-localauth

Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
/usr/local/etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The vos command interpreter presents it
to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument or
-noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-verbose

Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the commands
execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages
appear.

-encrypt

Encrypts the command so that the operations results are not transmitted
across the network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS
versions 1.4.11 or later and 1.5.60 or later.

-noresolve

Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very
useful when the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing
with multi-homed servers. This option is available in OpenAFS
versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or later.

-help

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.

The issuer must be listed in the /usr/local/etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the
machine specified with the -server argument and on each database server
machine. If the -localauth flag is included, the issuer must instead be
logged on to a server machine as the local superuser root.
